About the game:

The Watershed Game: Classroom Version emphasizes collaboration and cooperative decision-making, persuasive argument, teamwork, and leadership skills along with science and math. This version of the game has a large-format board game adapted for whole-class use. It helps students understand the relationship between land uses within a watershed, water quality, and their community. Students work in teams to decrease water pollution while balancing financial resources. The goal of the activity is to reduce nonpoint source water pollution from various land uses to the stream without going broke.
